"BEACH CAMP, a story collection by Chelsea Hodson, explores a space detached from the mainland—an island where girls sleep in cabins without walls, throw chicken nuggets across the cafeteria, threaten towel-wearing boys, and go looking for the buffalo. Hodson separates her journey into tidy sections shorter than the time it takes a counselor to say I will arrange a boat to take you off this island tonight so help me God."

As we approach signing a lease on our new space we've run into all
kinds of practical concerns, and this is where you might of tremendous
help to us. The Silent Barn is looking for both a Licensed Structural Engineer and a Licensed Architect to help us finalize out final build out.

We are also in need of a Materials Chef. Someone who can help
us transport large building materials to our new site. If you have a
pickup truck, we have an open position for you.

Lastly, we will be doing a ton of build out on our new space and will
need a large group of volunteers to help us with that construction. If
you think you would be interested in helping us with the physical
construction of our space please let us know.

We found it. The Silent Barn has nearly closed on a ten year lease
with extension option on our new home. Located in the heart of
Bushwick, Brooklyn, this 10,000 sq. ft. space can house eight legal
residents in apartments above a first floor with a large concert hall
opening to a yard as well as rooms large enough to fit at a dozen art
studios.

But don't take my word for it. Check out this video of us exploring the space.

But right now we need YOU to help us fill our studio and residential
spaces with awesome people. Learn more right here
http://silentbarn.org/stewdios/ . Tell your friends, have them tell
their friends. We're excited to get the new Silent Barn of the ground,
but even more excited to have YOU be apart of it

We've already had people coming up with ideas such as a Barbershop /
Records Store and a Comic Book Shop to add to usual stew of projects.
Check out our map of the space and imagine all the cool things you do in
out new space.

Speaking of the good old days, did you ever have a good time at The
Silent Barn? Of course you did. And we're tired of talking about
ourselves so much. So why don't you tell us about an awesome time you
had there.
